I am the Monarch

------------------------------------

The atmosphere in the conference room was very complicated.

I feel hot and calm.

It was a place to plan for the Punitive War, but most of the nobles were thinking wrong.

‘I need to go somewhere other than the tail area. ’

"If we stay here, we must be commanded by the common man. ’

Originally, I was trying to protect Simon.

I was going to do my father in plain sight.

But now things have changed.

The pride of the nobles above the Earl was quite strong.

It was hard to think that they would take orders from Roan.

“I'll take the west side of Faber Castle. ”

“I'm in charge of the Peltin area. ”

The nobles tremble at you, saying you will take over the rear.

Thanks to this, five Baron nobles left in the Tail region, a bird with no power or power whatsoever.

Of course, some volunteered to stay in the Tail Region.

‘Bird of Delf Bleak. ’

He was a young nobleman who had just turned 40. He was a big bear and angry personality.

‘The one who followed the lord to the end. ’

Thanks to him, Roan remembers him well.

‘The power is excellent, but it is a matter of a somewhat hasty and hyper-organized nature. ’

Well, technically, it's the same type as Sammy.

‘Longevity will be a great power if it can be controlled well. ’

While Roan was thinking and thinking about things, the meeting was almost over.

“Good. Let's end this meeting then. ”

Simon nods satisfactorily.

He was also not unaware of the nobles' tricks and uncomfortable tone.

The results of the meeting were quite satisfactory, even with such considerations.

Thanks to Roan. ’

There were already strong defenses built all over the Tail Region.

Simon looks at the nobles and says,

“We carry out our duties as soon as the day breaks. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

All the nobles rise and bow their heads.

His expression was splendid.

They also knew what the Punitive War meant.

‘We must establish a major. ’

That was how everyone survived.

Roan smiles bitterly, feeling the peculiar heat of the nobles.

‘Now you think that if you keep the phosphine exodus at bay, you'll have an edge over the next kingdom. ’

But the future doesn't really flow that easily.

Roan takes a deep breath.

‘The really intense and terrible competition has not yet begun. ’

We have to be ready for that.

I met Simon sooner than I thought.

That's why I had to hurry up with the rest of the preparation.

‘I am myself. ’

A situation where the foundation has been thoroughly cleaned.

Now it was time to stand on that foundation.

* * *

The next morning.

The majority of the nobles left Mediacis with their own troops in the morning.

Five birds and the baron are left.

It was Simon's army and Io's territory.

Roan escorted the nobles who were leaving as head of the Tail Region and Unit HQ out of town.

“Whew.”

After the last nobles and troops left, Roan breathed for a short time.

“It's not easy, is it? ”

At that moment, you hear a familiar voice in the back of your ear.

It was Io.

He gladly approaches and grabs Roan's shoulder.

“All nobles are worthless with pride. ”

Iow shakes his head with a bitter smile.

He said as he looked at the farther nobles.

“Congratulations on being in charge of operations and command in the Tail Region. Now I can finally get you to say what you want. ”

Even though many nobles had left, there were more than 20,000 soldiers combined with the rest of the nobles' garrison.

After only 1,000 Amaranth troops have dealt with monsters, Roan is truly a troop of ten million horses.

The opportunity to expand the tactics and strategies that we had to give up due to the lack of troops was open.

Of course, it won't be easy.

Io looks at Roan and asks in a small voice.

“The nobles left here are the barons and the barons, but the nobles are also nobles. It won't be easy to deal with, are you? ”

At that, Roan smiles faintly.

A relaxed, confident face in the middle of nowhere.

“As long as I'm in charge.......”

You see a red glow in your eyes.

“There is no distinction between nobles and commoners. They're all soldiers. ”

Powerful voice.

Iow nods slowly.

‘I can already see the Commander's helmet. ’

A happy face.

Roan and Iow look at each other with a faint smile.

Their gaze deeply tangled.

* * *

After returning to the base, Roan ordered Austin to gather the rest of the nobles in the Tail region.

A quiet building on the outskirts of the base.

It's because Simon was using the officers' office and the conference room.

“Tsk. You're already impersonating a commander. ”

Baron George Ant, one of the most powerful nobles left in the Tail region, complained bitterly.

It's because I was summoned by Roan while preparing a camp in the field outside the town and resolving the crisis.

“Hmph. If you're good at it, how good are you?”

George had also read several reports and was well aware of how well Roan's specialty was.

But I was just too proud to admit it easily.

"Tsk, make a mistake. I'll get you out of the regional head's office. ’

He squeezes out his thick fin once and then pushes forward.

You can see the wooden building, which is a gathering place far away.

“Welcome.”

The guards guarding the front of the building took the ordinance and opened the closed door.

As soldiers in the Amaranth unit, they were polite and cunning in their actions.

‘Hmmm.’

George entered the wide open doorway, reliving his appetite.

After seeing the polite posture of the guards, I feel relieved again.

I took a few more steps to open the conference room door.

Moment.

‘Damn it.'

The face that was loosened was hard again.

No, it even reminded me of red.

His gaze went to the top of the conference room.

‘Cause you're the commander. ’

At the top of the long table was Roan.

Next to him were the nobles, knights, and nobles who remained in the Tail Region, such as Simon's main base.

They look as bad as George.

I knew I had to be commanded by Simon's command, and I had to convince him, but it wasn't a pleasant feeling to actually be in this situation.

‘Damn it.'

George rolls his disdain in his mouth and makes a stuttering move.

You squat at the edge of the table.

Somehow, Roan and his position at the top are in extreme contrast.

‘Damn it.'

Once again, the insult was overwhelming.

Then.

“You're all here. ”

Bad, bold, but powerful voice.

Roan stands up with a faint smile on his face.

He glances at the companions' nobles and bows his head.

“At Prince 1st's command, Roan will lead the Tail Region. ”

No applause.

I didn't even have a favorable eye.

But he didn't mind.

“We all know the situation is unpleasant. But now is the time to focus on leading the punitive war to victory, rather than the ups and downs of identity. ”

It was perfectly reasonable and correct.

But still, the nobles look grumpy.

‘Just as I expected. ’

Roan sits down with a bitter smile on his face.

He pulls out a lump of thick paper and grabs the pen.

“Let's start with the numbers. How many troops exactly did you see, Prince 1st? ”

The knight commander, who assists Simon from his innermost muscles, grumbles at the end of his speech.

“15,000. The Knights have 2,000 power and the Wizards have 500. ”

It was much stronger and more powerful than I thought.

Roan then bites the power of the nobles sitting next to him.

“Three thousand.”

“2,000.”

“Three thousand.”

Short answers.

The number of troops was Daedongsoo.

The nobles who possessed the territory did not have many troops to defend their own territory.

"Count Lancefield's troops add up to 28,000. ’

Almost 30,000 troops.

Roan's mouth rises as he looks up.

‘This is enough. ’

Several strategies and tactics that have not been implemented have been in my head.

He pulls the scroll out of his chest.

Map of the Tail Region.

Glug.

The map is spread out on the table.

“Hmm.”

The nobles shed low tears.

They had already heard that Roan had made a map at the meeting yesterday.

However, it was somewhat embarrassing to actually see it in front of my eyes.

‘You really built it. ’

"What a detailed and thorough map. ’

Everyone looks surprised.

But he didn't mind.

He spreads the map wide and holds up his beams.

Tak!

The end of the beacon reaches the base.

“This is Mediah. ”

The nobles nod unknowingly.

Roan smiles faintly and moves his beams.

“This is Lake Porsche. ”

I took two pictures, but the directions were roughly clear.

Roan continued to speak in the back.

“We will build a defensive line from the south of Mediacis. ”

The beacon moves back and forth on the map.

“We plan to build a flawless defensive line from east to west, preventing monsters from moving inland. ”

Roan points out the points on the map in sequence.

“These are serious things that have already been built. Actively leveraging these seriousness will help you build your faction. ”

“Hmm."

The nobles still nod unknowingly.

Because the seriousness, traps, and obstacles that Roan prepared were stronger than I thought.

Roan smiles faintly and talks behind his back.

“Then I'll tell you about deploying troops from now on. ”

The wand moves quickly.

“Once at Prince 1st's headquarters, because its power is the strongest.......”

He calmly laid out the plans he had in mind.

A solid plan.

"He is a great man, just as the prince said. ’

Among the nobles leading the mainstream, Prince Thio Luin, who is the head of the class, was greatly impressed.

However, the other nobles' expressions were not very good.

“Last but not least, Baron George Ant wishes to set up camp at the eastern end of the tail region. ”

Final instructions.

“Hmph!”

George snorted with an unpleasant look.

Everything else was tolerable because Simon had his orders.

But I couldn't follow these instructions as much.

“Why should I have a camp at the end of the east? ”

The voice of the day.

He jumps out of his seat and points at the map with his fingertips.

“I too will settle near Mediacis. ”

As long as you remain in the Tail region, you must stay close to Simon.

I had to set up my specialty where I could see him.

Roan shakes his head with a bold expression.

“Not available.”

At that moment, George's face became red.

Son of a bitch! ’

How dare you ignore a nobleman's words.

I was furious.

“Among the nobles left in the Tail region, I have the most troops. Isn't it natural for me to protect Mediacis, the heart of the region? ”

It was true.

George dragged the Territories too far to pursue a major in this opportunity.

Thanks to this, I have more troops than the other nobles.

But Roan shakes his head again.

“Baron Ant must protect the eastern region. ”

Bold voice.

“That's where the monsters are headed. ”

That's why George was stationed there with so many troops.

Boom!

George slaps the table with his red face.

“I see no sign of you being commander by Prince 1st's command! I am the noble ear of the kingdom.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

Grrr!

Roan pulls out a dagger from his waist.

A dagger in a regate.

The sharp and cool sword revealed itself.

“Huh?"

“Huh?"

The nobles woke up in a staggering place.

Roan unceremoniously lowers his dagger to the table.

“Huff!”

George looks at the dagger coming down towards the back of his hand and swallows the wind.

Phew!

The heavy sound of smacking in the ear.

The dagger is pinned to George's fingertips.

“Ugh.”

George looks at Roan, trembling.

“What the hell are you doing! ”

Even his voice trembled.

Roan looks at George like that and says in a cool voice.

“This dagger is the Regate Dagger that Prince 1st gave you. ”

The dagger shivers to the left and to the right, resting on the table.

“The prince clearly told me to follow my orders as his own. ”

The sound of my standing voice pierces the nobles' ears.

“Hmm.”

Unpleasant and hard looking.

However, there was no way to disprove it until Roan pulled out the Reagate Dagger.

Roan looks straight at George.

“Are you disobeying my orders? ”

“Hnng.”

George steps back with a boiling sound.

I wanted to grab her by the collar right away, but I couldn't because of the Regate Dagger.

“Damn it.”

George stoops to his feet, grumbling.

Other nobles also did not like the look on their faces.

Some of the nobles, like George, were dissatisfied with the placement of the inner guard, and just now, Roan's actions were an act of disregard for the authority of the nobles.

Roan reads the color, but does not feel faint.

“Then. I trust you will follow your orders." ”

No response.

“With this, the meeting is like.......”

About that time, some of the nobles got up and left the meeting room.

“The world is turning upside down! ”

“Damn it!”

“Does this make any sense? ”

Several nobles deliberately complained.

In a sudden situation, Roan finishes his speech with a bitter smile.

“This concludes the meeting. ”

This is how the meeting ended.

The rest of the nobles, who were guarding their seats, slowly left the meeting room.

Roan stands guard and walks them out.

The conference room was quickly empty.

Heavy silence.

Then.

“The meeting went well. ”

Austin shows up with a familiar voice.

He looks worried without knowing where he is.

Roan nods, smiling and smiling.

“More than I thought.”

Short, bold answers.

Austin shakes his head with a bitter smile.

“Will the nobles follow your orders well? ”

Extremely skeptical response.

Roan nods, smiling brightly.

“We must obey. My orders are the prince's. But.......”

He looks him straight in the eye.

“It wouldn't be bad for a bunch of nobles to come out disobeying orders. ”

Austin tilts his head.

“Why is that……? ”

Roan smiled instead of answering.

My mouth goes up and my eyes go down.

Soft impression.

But there was a red flame in his eyes.

It was the expression of some powerful will.
